Selects vs Shutterstock AI Image Generator

Describe the result you want in everyday language — pacing, framing, captions — and Selects performs the edit, letting you keep giving notes the way you would to a human editor.

Paste a link to a reference video, add your own footage, and Selects recreates the cuts, pacing, captions and effects of that style around your content.

Every camera angle and microphone is lined up automatically, and Selects knows who is speaking so it can cut between the right shots.

Selects watches the footage — shots, faces, best takes — so edits are grounded in what was filmed, not only the spoken words.
